Jessica Lynn Morrison is committed to making Cleveland a more literate city! She believes that reading with children is extremely important because it helps them build stronger relationships, basic speech skills and gain academic excellence. As a result, Jessica started the Project Storybook campaign at the Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity where she works as the Family Programs Manager. The Project Storybook campaign enables her to give every child who moves into a Habitat home books to start their own library. Through NLDP, Jessica hopes to expand the program city-wide. She had also partnered with the Little Free Library Organization, a program that promotes literacy and the love of reading by building free book exchanges worldwide, and aims to build literacy-friendly Cleveland neighborhoods utilizing book parties and reading workshops. Jessica earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Urban Studies and a Master’s Degree in Urban Planning, Design and Development with a concentration in Neighborhood Planning at Cleveland State University.
